I’ve been notified that the sunken vessel has been located (position not given). Operations will be conducted to secure the vessel. Once secured, divers will search the vessel for the missing crew member. You can anticipate the LMR will remain closed until diving operations are complete.

I will provide updates as available.

Sincerely,
